I agree, but then like I mentioned before, you're going to limit the community maps in MM to one gametype. Great maps designed for other gametypes will be instantly forgotten. And if it's 4v4 slayer, what about BTB? What about 5v5 objective? Invasion?
Great maps designed for those gametypes are already being forgotten so I don't get what your point is. Objective has zero community maps in it and there's nothing wrong with that. And it needs to go back to 4v4 already, 5v5 Objective is terrible. That's what custom games and the file share browser are for.
Bungie ran a Community BTB playlist, if 343 does that again then they should pair proper gametypes with the maps if you really want to see how a BTB Flag or Slayer map works. In fact, they shouldn't even use in game voting numbers as a metric for what's good. Players voting for something in game just to see what it is or if it's any good would just artificially inflate those numbers. There should be a poll or something on Halo Waypoint after the playlist has run it's course, people can vote there for what they want to see in the playlist. It's not perfect, but just an idea off the top of my head. But I'm so whatever about BTB, I haven't touched it since before Heavies was added. If you ask me, BTB should be DLC required and consolidated with Anniversary BTB.
And don't even ask me about Invasion.
Do you mean why would there need to be a community beta playlist or why does 343/Bungie insist on adding community maps to any playlist? I can't answer the second question for you. (Other than they're just trying to appreciate all of the Forge focused communities by giving them a reachable goal). We're just trying to help when we're asked to.
The latter. I assumed it was you insisting on community maps because in your little kerfuffle with thezerofire you were asking him to suggest other maps besides The Pit and Refuge, which to me and probably a lot of other people here, is good enough. The Pit is a tested and loved map, we all know how it plays and that it's not trash. Refuge is a thousand times better than Asylum, I don't know why it hasn't been replaced yet. Fix up some of the stock maps (like replace the Shotgun and Sword on Countdown with anything else, and holy shit cleanse Battle Canyon of all those power weapons) and you're golden. Quality over quantity, less is more, etc.
